One big blackhead, any way to get rid of it?

I dont usually get blackheads.


However there is just this one black head on my cheek that is very noticeable, especially since i have light skin color.


I think the blackhead resulted from a large deep-pitted pimple that somehow never made it to the surface.





any remedies on getting rid of it effectively in a non painful way?One big blackhead, any way to get rid of it?
a blackhead that's noticeable? I am not sure, but aren't blackheads supposed to be just small?





I really suggest going to a dermatologist, unless you go post pictures around here so we can take a look.





steaming softens the skin, therefore, it's easier to be removed, however, just by you describing it, I don't think that's a good idea. I used to prick on my blackheads on my nose though and they would just come out, however, a big blackhead on the cheek? go see an expert.One big blackhead, any way to get rid of it?
Do a Warm Compress on it. Press on it with a warm/hot wash cloth. Dip some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, press that on the blackhead, the black head should start to surface, get a sewing needle, dip that in the rubbing alcohol, and prick the head out with it, follow up with more rubbing alcohol after you see the head is out. If you have any Aloe plant, put some on the redness, should sooth it and heals it too.


Hope that helps, take care, :)

I've never had a blackhead, but i've had every other form of acne, so how is a blackhead different?

and why have a never had a blackhead? i'm not saying i want one, but most people have had more blackheads than anything else. i DO have acne, but most of it cleared up bc im on benzaclin and differin, but i usually get just red ones, really deep painful ones, or whiteheads. never a blackhead.





what are they and why haven't i ever had one?I've never had a blackhead, but i've had every other form of acne, so how is a blackhead different?
Blackheads aren't acne, so it could simply be that. All a blackhead is, is a pore that's clogged with sebum and occasionally dirt. I only notice mine if my face is dirty from working in the garden, the dirt sort of highlights them. Bear in mind if you are clean, they may well not be ';black';!I've never had a blackhead, but i've had every other form of acne, so how is a blackhead different?
A blackhead is just a pore filled w/ dirt and dead skin taht never turns into a red bump or gets filled w/ puss. I bet you have them, they are usually small and just a filled up pore that can be squeezed out.

When you squeeze a particularly juicy blackhead, do you admire it from different angles in self satisfaction?

I don't take it that far but I do take a little satisfaction in getting rid of it. Especially if it was a tough one!

I ran out of biore blackhead nose strips, can I use the face strips on my nose? (more details)?

I really need to use one tonight, but my very last nose strip got thrown away :(





I still have a lot of face strips left, so can I use one on my nose?


and will that be ineffective or cause any damage to my nose?I ran out of biore blackhead nose strips, can I use the face strips on my nose? (more details)?
I believe you can! I bought the packet where it included both nose and face strips, and I think they're the same... the shaping just differs! Both nose and face strips are effective the same way! =)

Does the clean and clear blackhead eraser work?

I just bought one today. I used it once and my skin feels incredibly smooth, and the blackheads are a little less worse. With time I'm imagining they'll almost completely disappear.

Good cheap foundation for blackhead prone skin?

i have fairly oily skin, the main concern for me is blackheads though. i'm looking for a lightweight liquid foundation that WON'T clog my pores, and that will cover blemiishes and make my skin look evened out. thanks.Good cheap foundation for blackhead prone skin?
Try Neutrogeena. I think it runs about $9, but it's worth it. It won't clog your pores and it covers well. I don't recommend their foundation with the salycilic acid in it though, because that one doesn't cover well. Stick to the noncomodogenic one and you'll be fine. Also, make sure to put some sort of tea tree oil product on you skin before you do the foundation, to help prevent breakouts. I suggest you wash your face, apply tea tree oil toner/moisturizer (products found at The Body Shop), and then apply foundation. Good luck!Good cheap foundation for blackhead prone skin?
I absolutely love a tinted moisturizer that is made by Benefit Cosmetics. It's called You Rebel. It works on almost any skin tone, is light and evens out complexion. Go to a Macy's or department store that sells Benefit, and have them try it on you. Ask for a sample...
Have you tried a mineral based foundation. It's so light and a poweder yet covers so well.
There is no such thing as ';good'; but ';cheap'; foundation!! Sorry! Clinique has very good foundations and powders. I wore cheaper foundations in my 20's such as revlon and nutrogena but after I discovered how great the coverage is w/ Clinique I am now hooked and they have several promotions from time to time where you spend a certain amount and recieve a lot of freebie goodies!
Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is made from natural ingredients and gives your skin a lovely natural look.
I have oily skin too and i use a foundation made for oily skin. It was 拢1.99 and it is natural collection from Boots.
